~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor;

those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,

just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing;

they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.

His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers.

Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet,

you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.

The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head,

and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

 These Greyhounds have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and will be remembered fondly by their families...

"If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever."

You were the gentlest most loving soul we've ever known. We were so blessed to have you as a part of our family for eight years. You added so much to our lives, brought us so much happiness and taught us what unconditional love is. Your passing has left a void in our lives and a deep sorrow in our hearts. We miss you so much. Our love for you will never die. We will love you forever.

Your loving family,

Ed, Eileen & Ian




Beverly


Beverly was the Queen of the house. She was an eight and a half year old brood when she was sent to me for fostering along with her sister Jennie who went into foster care with my friend Glenda. Even though she would put on the "old and feeble" act at every meet and greet I took her to as a foster dog, she was adopted by a nice greyhound savy family a few months later...and bounced the next day. They said she was not cat safe, ran through their screen door, would not eat, sleep, lay down, drink.....she just stomped around....Beverly was NOT happy. When we arrived to pick her up, she jumped in the van, sprawled on her cushion and upon returning home ate and drank everything in sight.... and then slept all day and night. When she woke the next day, she stomped over to me with that swaying walk of hers and just looked at me with her little grin. I knew she was now home. SHE HAD PICKED ME! Bevie lov ed meet and greets after she was adopted, and was a favorite with the children. She was the one who waited patiently for biscuits, bossed the other dogs around, slept with a little grin on her face...and loved unconditionally. When she could not use her hind legs and her body was failing to keep pace with that strong spirit, the dedicated staff at the Humane Society Veterinary Clinic tried everything to help this valiant girl return to the activities she loved. Unfortunately it was not to be and it was time for Bevie to join her sister Jennie at the bridge. She was special and I miss her terribly...and always will....it was sweet to be owned by her.

Jet Girl Schilling 1997-2007


Jet, a beautiful, tiny, black girl came to us on February 17, 2000. She was a "second chance girl". She was afraid to come home with us; she hid in her foster parent's bathroom. But, she soon settled in, and showed herself to be affectionate, and very smart. Of course, she was very beautiful! She clevery attached herself to my husband, as he was home, and I work. She welcomed the addtion of Celia, another greygirl, and Lucky, an Irvington boy. She travelled with us to Dewey six times, and twice to Gettysburg. She loved to ride in the car, or in the boat to go anywhere. She really enjoyed her walks; she just loved being with her family. She especially enjoyed snoozing on her dog cot next to her brother and sister in the tent in her dog pen. She was particulary fond of Greyhound picnics, and trips to the dog parks.

She had cancer, and we did not know it until the last day of her life. She never cried, or made any trouble for us, yet, she was so very ill. Our hearts are broken, and we will miss her forever. Run free, little girl, and we hope to see you again some day.

Love,
Keith and Georgia (Mom and Dad), Celia, Lucky, Polly, Doodle




Lucky (Neddick)

Stella Spameni


Stella Spameni (formerly Get Rich Quick) 12/94 - 4/12/07

We adopted Stella through Greyhound Friends of NJ, Barbara Wickland in January of 1996. Stella was a sweet, loving little girl who gave us eleven years of pure love and affection. She was the biggest couch potato, but would also play like a puppy throwing stuffed up animals up in the air until the end of her life. She pranced around and was the queen of her castle. Bart, her chow chow life mate, was her king and is mourning her death waiting for her to come upstairs to go to bed. Stella was wonderful with children and other animals.

With a tearful goodbye — we say — till we meet again old friend. To anyone considering adopting a greyhound and want a sweet, loyal companion, please please do so! They are sweet loving dogs and man’s and woman’s best friend! We will miss you Stella!

Anthony & Antoinette Spameni
